  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup butter or margarine
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 (10½ ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • teaspoons salt

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until golden.
  3. Add the seasoned meat mixture to the skillet and brown while breaking it into small pieces, stirring frequently.
  4. Once meat is no longer pink, add cream of chicken soup and sliced mushrooms with their juice. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

For a more pronounced mushroom flavor, substitute 8 ounces of fresh mushrooms sautéed with the onions instead of using canned. This dish is perfect for meal prep and tastes even better the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a lighter version, use ground turkey and light sour cream. Pair with steamed vegetables like buttered peas or broccoli for a complete meal.
